Customer Question

I believe there has been...

I believe there has been a breach of contract concerning my divorce, when we sold the home my ex husband had a 2nd mortgage on the house which was paid off with the fund from the sell of the house. I did not believe I should not have had to pay back his mortgage. And if that is the case what do I need to do to receive the money that I should have received?
